}}Hi everybody!

Gamemaster Konacon here to talk to YOU about the latest and greatest addition to popping [[Box (treasure)|box]]es! All you've gotta do to get started is get 1, that's right I said just ONE, rank in Elemental Lore, Water to get started!

Now I can hear you saying, "But Konacon, what could you -possibly- have to offer me that would make me want to spend my hard earned [[training point]]s on ranks in water lore?"

Well. You never let me finish! On a seed 1 modifier (That's 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, and then more numbers. I could go higher but I don't want to and you can't make me!) every Unsuccessful cast of 407 will now rot the [[Picking Locks|lock]] on that box that has been sitting in your inventory closed for the past 4 years reducing its [[Lock difficulty|difficulty]] UP to 10% of the total lock's difficulty! Confused? Don't be! I HAZ EXAMPLS

Let's say you had some lock with a 500 difficulty, and you're sitting on 55 ranks of water lore (Why don't you have more you bum?!). Each unsuccessful cast would cause the lock's difficulty to reduce by 10 points all the way down to 450! So... What are you waiting for? Head to your nearest trainer and get some more ranks in water lore today!

Questions? Comments? Endless praise? Feel free to send them all my way!

Good question! This DOES, in fact, make boxes easier to pop.

One other thing to note is that the rotting effect lasts 60 seconds and the duration is refreshed to with each cast.

Personally I would have thought it Earth would be better as in it strengthens the lockpick, but I can see a justification for water

We tried to stick with general themes for each lore:

Fire: offensive
Earth: defensive
Water: Restoration and utility
Air: Time alteration and utility

It's only a general guideline, as sometimes a specific spell is strongly associated with an element that it doesn't make much sense to use any other element. You'll see why water lore makes more sense in the next couple of days.

Subject: HSN: ELR - Presence (402) Updates Released!

Presence has been updated to have a 5 minute, non-cumulative duration. In addition, it will now detect hidden creatures. Training in Elemental Lore, Air provides a chance to be able to point out hidden targets. The formula highly favors the hider, but will allow an extremely dedicated Air Elementalists a chance against less skilled hiders.

Subject: HSN: ELR - 403 (Lock Pick Enhancement) updated!

Locklore (403) has been updated to decrease potential damage to your pick on a failed picking attempt based on a seed 10 summation of the caster's Elemental Lore, Water ranks. Each bonus from the seed summation will remove a point of damage that would have been applied to your pick if you ended up damaging it. This can completely remove any potential damage, but it won't fix previous damage.

Yes, the lore bonus is not limited to self-cast.

Now I can hear you saying, "But Konacon, what could you -possibly- have to offer me that would make me want to spend my hard earned training points on ranks in water lore?"

Well. You never let me finish! On a seed 1 modifier (That's 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, and then more numbers.
